EPIC AMAZON RIVER MONSTER

The amazon is filled with all kinds of river monsters and we all know the Piranha is the most famous. But one of the biggest river monsters in the Amazon, and one of my favorites, is the one they call the Arapaima.

Arapaima are these long sleek looking fish that can grow up to 2 and half meters ( or around 8 feet). The record weight this monster is 200 KG or about 440 LBs, but on average they are about half that.

Arapaima are considered to be an ancient fish – scientists estimate they are descendants of fish that date back more than 250 million years.
